Dear Friend of Hymnary,

As you know, we don't ask for money too often. But we're asking now.

So before you hit the "close" button on this box, please consider a donation to keep
Hymnary going.

More than half a million people come here every month -- worship leaders, hymnologists,
hymn lovers and more -- people who now have access to the most complete database of North

come without a cost, and we have limited sources of revenue. So if you benefit from
Hymnary.org, would you please consider a donation today? Even small amounts help, and they

You can make your tax-deductible contribution by clicking the Donate button below, or
you can send a check to Hymnary at 3201 Burton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546.
